How the SL014948 model number is decoded

envelope 240×320×80 mm with a 40.0 mm radial section; every available circumferential space carries a roller because there is no cage C is 740 kN and C0 1700 kN; with a C/C0 ratio of 0.44 the 80 mm-wide full complement concentrates on extreme static and steady radial capacity rather than speed the fatigue load limit Cur is 198 kN, the limiting speed 1,110 r/min and the thermal reference speed 660 r/min — full-complement roller-to-roller contact keeps both speeds well below caged cylindrical bearings of the same size the dynamic rating is 3.08 kN per millimetre of the 240 mm bore and 9.25 kN per millimetre of the 80 mm width, figures that explain the use of this bearing in compact, heavily loaded gearbox positions mass is 18.5 kg (18500 g) (0.72 g per mm² of the 320×80 mm envelope); the stiff, thick rings keep raceway deformation low under peak loads the 240 mm bore puts this execution at the top of the HR1 range — the 320 mm outside diameter, 80 mm width and 18.5 kg mass are built for primary-industry load cases Reading SL0149: the DIN 5412-9 type code family NNC49, double-row full complement with split outer ring; the joining retaining rings must not be used to transmit axial force No angular compensation is built in: misalignment loads one roller row preferentially, so the housing and shaft seats for a 240 mm bore SL0149 must be machined parallel Typical applications include planetary gear bearing positions, construction machinery slewing drives and compact slow-speed agitator drives, where the 320 mm outside diameter and 740 kN dynamic rating match the duty. In planetary gear bearing positions the unit fits a compact 240 mm seat, and in construction machinery slewing drives the 18.5 kg mass is part of the rotor inertia calculation. Designers also specify it for compact slow-speed agitator drives, relying on the 80 mm width and the published 1700 kN static rating. There is no cage: do not apply caged-bearing speed rules — the printed limiting speed is a hard kinematic ceiling set by roller-to-roller contact. The split outer ring of SL0149 is joined by retaining rings for handling only; never use those rings as a thrust face in the design.

Typical equipment & failure modes

Common applications

  • marine and offshore winch arrangements
  • crane travelling-wheel mechanisms
  • hydraulic pumps and radial piston pumps
  • rolling-mill and steel-industry drives

Known failure patterns

  • raceway pitting from overloaded slow-speed positions where the cageless rollers repeatedly stress one contact band
  • rib and roller-end scoring when applied axial thrust exceeds the semi-locating capacity
  • roller smearing from roller-to-roller sliding at speeds above the limiting value
  • edge loading and premature spalling caused by undetected shaft/housing misalignment (full-complement rows cannot self-align)
  • brinelling of the raceways from static shock during mounting or transport of the heavy rotor
  • lubricant starvation in the tightly packed roller set, especially in the double-row executions
  • freting and creep on a loose ring seat under a rotating load
  • contamination wear in open gearbox positions with damaged seals or breathers
  • false brinelling from micro-movement while the shaft is stationary under vibration

Selection pitfalls — read before you substitute

  • There is no cage: do not apply caged-bearing speed rules — the printed limiting speed is a hard kinematic ceiling set by roller-to-roller contact.
  • The split outer ring of SL0149 is joined by retaining rings for handling only; never use those rings as a thrust face in the design.
  • Relubrication paths matter: specify the annular groove/hole executions where access is poor, because the tightly packed rows trap old grease.

Frequently asked questions

What are the dimensions of the SL014948?

The SL014948 is a SL0149 double-row full-complement locating cylindrical roller bearing with 320 mm outside diameter, 240 mm bore and 80 mm width, envelope 240×320×80 mm. Mass is 18.5 kg.

What does the SL014948 designation mean in the FAG/INA HR1 catalogue?

SL014948 identifies this SL0149 double-row full-complement locating cylindrical roller bearing in the Schaeffler HR1 rolling bearings catalogue. The envelope is 240×320×80 mm and the catalogue ratings are C 740 kN, C0 1700 kN, Cur 198 kN.

What is the load capacity of the SL014948?

The basic dynamic load rating C is 740 kN and the basic static load rating C0 is 1700 kN; the fatigue load limit Cur is 198 kN.

What is the maximum speed of the SL014948?

The limiting speed is 1,110 r/min and the thermal reference speed is 660 r/min. In the Schaeffler catalogue the reference speed is the thermally permissible running speed under defined load; the lower of the two values governs each application.

What is the locating function of the SL014948?

The SL0149 is a locating bearing: it fixes the shaft axially in both directions; pair it with a non-locating SL0249 at the other end to avoid binding.
